The Run Mode is used to solve a single Power Flow Solution, run one of the available load flow tools, or run a time-domain simulation of the power system. To access Run Mode, click on the Run Mode button in the Mode group of the Simulator Ribbon.
The key ribbon group associated with the Run Mode is the Tools ribbon group. This ribbon group allows you to perform a single Power Flow Solution (however, it is quicker to use the Quick Access toolbar).
Other key components of Run Mode include:
- The oneline diagrams, which allow you to view the case graphically. See
- The Case Information Displays, which allow you to view the entire power system case using list displays. See Case Information Displays for details.
- Dialogs to change the simulation options and the Power Flow Solution. See Simulation Options for details.
- Scaling to allow easy variation in the load, shunts, and generation at any number of buses. See Scaling for details.
- Contouring, which shows a color contour representing the variation in any power system parameter across a system. See Contouring for details.
- Run Contingency Analysis
- Transfer distribution factor calculations. See Power Transfer Distribution Factors for details.
- Perform a fault analysis. See Fault Analysis for details.
- Run Available Transfer Capability studies.
- Perform an Optimal Power Flow (OPF) or Security Constrained Optimal Power Flow (SCOPF) analysis.
- Generate PV and QV curves.
